I have been with verizon since Ive had a cell phone. Im not sure about AT&T coverage where I am. I guess ill do more research on the new phones that are coming out. Any idea if Verizon will be getting the bold?

They will be getting the Tour and the great unknown Atlas. As for after I'm not sure what is coming besides the Storm 2, but I have heard we have some great devices coming.

Im really at a stand still on which phone to choose. I like the professional look of the bold, but I like the full face screen of the storm.

Besides cosmetics, what are some of the advantages/disadvantages of the bold? And is the trackball durable and last long? :dunno:

I actually have both, I like the bold for typing with no errors. I also like the size of the Bold. But I also like my storm so doesnt really matter to me I have the best of both so to speak. Each one has their purpose. It just depends on how you are going to use it.

If the bold was on verizon it would be a different argument but hands down IMHO AT&T is the worst cell phone provider in the US. They should change their slogan to no bars in more places. Storm wins hands down because it is on vzw network.

I definitely agree....vzw has worked for me everywhere...there are truly no dead zones

As others have said, this decision is often carrier related. My advice is to select the carrier that is going to work best in your area and then make the device decision secondary. A really cool device is useless if you have no service.

With that said, I have owned nearly all BB device models at one time or other (including the Bold and my current Storm) and I must say the Bold has been my overall favorite to date. It's important to mention though that business is my primary use. Simultaneous voice/data on the AT&T Bold is the feature I miss most now that I'm on a Storm.

AT&T is actually the dominant carrier where I live (south central KY) so being on VZW is no advantage. I just finalized a contract switching my business plan back to AT&T from Verizon and my Bolds and 8900's will be arriving on Tuesday :beerchug:

I have both the Bold and the Storm both on AT&T. I had to turn the 3G off on the Bold cause it was draining my power quick.. BY noon I had 35% battery left and after turning off 3G by 7pm I now have 50% left... HUGE difference!... I like both devices actually... typing is a little better on the Bold than Storm but I like the bigger screen on the Storm...I hate to say it but I wish RIM would give us a decent (notice I said decent) slider with the Storms big screen and a full slidout hardware keyboard...

I am using the Bold on AT&T and my battery life is excellent. What OS are you running on the Bold? I'm on .266 and have used 5.0.0.100 and both had great battery life. Both with 3G on all the time.
